Every day, a new product whizzes into my inbox that I know I’ve got to try. It’s a hazard of the job as a writer for Deli Market News, and honestly, it’s not one I would give up anytime soon! Seeing the innovations coming down the pipe only makes me more curious to try their physical counterparts at retail.
Read on for which products I’m putting in my cart this month!
FrieslandCampina Gayo Azul® Cotija
As September is National Hispanic Heritage Month, the brand spotlighted its premium lineup of cheese varieties that highlight its rich heritage of Hispanic cheesemaking. The Cotija cheese alone is a savory delight that pairs sharpness with the slightest hint of salt. It’s a must for all salads and tacos, in my opinion.
Abbey Specialty Foods brought this German-produced cheese to the United States market, and its distinct flavors are winning hearts. The blend of tradition and craftsmanship represents Bergader’s exceptional attention to quality. Plus, they’re a great addition to the specialty cheese case.
I remember scoffing at my dad’s preference for meat sticks as an on-the-go snack, but those words have come back to haunt me—as those aforementioned snacks I once scorned are now what I reach for first when I’m feeling peckish. The newest flavor from Chomps has zero sugar and is flavored using natural hardwood smoke to achieve its unique taste. Seasoned with black pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, and garlic, the limited-edition flavor provides a convenient snacking option packed with protein.
Kosterina Organic Premium Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil
As a Millennial, I’m a sucker for good packaging. It’s practically baked into our genetic code at this point. So when I saw the olive oil offering from Kosterina, I just about swooned. Made from 100 percent Koroneiki olives harvested in southern Greece, Kosterina’s oils boast a rich flavor profile and a higher concentration of polyphenols, great for health benefits.
Philadelphia® Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream cheese frosting is superior to all others in my mind, so seeing this launch from Philadelphia was a cause for celebration. Balancing that sweet-tangy taste that I adore so much, the newest recipe replicates homemade frosting. It’s designed to elevate nearly any treat, but would go especially good on cinnamon rolls or pumpkin cookies.
Stay tuned for what catches our eye in the month of Halloween and fall merchandising!
